愚民总是鄙视王国，认为那是封建落后的社会体制。但事实胜于雄辩，看了下面的新闻，还有谁会说王国不好？
【沙特发现一贫穷男子：轰动全国引围观】一沙特男在推特上发了一条状态，说自己生病在医院，什么都没有，没钱没人爱。结果病房里挤满了闻讯赶来送温暖的土豪.。.有网友说，这种感觉就好像一个已经开服十年的游戏，所有人都已经满级没事做了，突然来了个新人在世界频道喊求带。
看看吧，在愚民鄙视的王国，全国出了一个穷人，居然成了轰动全国特大新闻！王国制度好不好，一目了然。
看完沙特王国的故事，再来看看王国城市迪拜的福利：
1.住房福利。阿拉伯联合酋长国规定，凡国民第一次结婚的夫妇都会免费得到一栋别墅，外加约人民币50万的结婚补贴。凡是夫妇生育一个孩子，国家就免费分给孩子一栋100平米左右的房子，不论生几个，生一个给一个栋，不过也需要排队等，有的家庭要等好几年才轮上。
2.子女福利。孩子从出生之日起，父母还能按人头每月从政府部门领取儿童抚育金，其金额通常以千元计，足以支付一个儿童的日常生活所需。
3.医疗福利。阿联酋实行公立医院全免的制度，就连外籍人员也实行医疗免费，只需交约12元人民币的挂号费即可。如果医生建议需要在海外做手术，政府也完全付费，甚至包括陪同人员的酒店住宿费用，每人每天约400元人民币的补助。
4.薪酬福利。阿联酋普通公民的月薪大约在3000-5000美元之间，但每月的固定开支也就主要用在饮食上，外加一定的电话费、手机费，水费按户收不打表，电费也是象征性的收每度半分钱。因此，一个普通家庭一个月的正常开支只占工资的很小一部分，所以阿联酋人每年都到国外旅游度假。
5.双薪福利。按照阿联酋的规定，本土公司必须有一半股权归本地人。年纪轻轻就退休的大有人在，然后去外国人公司里打工，挣双份工资。
6.工作福利。政府给当地人安排了很多公务员岗位任选，而且都是属于管理层或者要害部门。当地公务员每天只上半天班，每周上四天休三天，工作一分钟休息三分钟，还有茶水小弟服侍。
7.教育福利。公民上学完全免费，包括大中小学，同时还能领取政府给的零花钱。令人震惊的是，外国人的子女在阿联酋上学也全部免费。
8.留学福利。阿联酋公民如果到国外上大学，费用也都由国家买单，而且还发给学生每个月大约500英镑的补助，还额外享有金额可观的奖学金，甚至连父母妻儿陪读的生活费也管。因此，阿联酋学生到欧美国家上学，都不用兼职打工。
9.人道福利。阿联酋政府每年会用约20亿元资助困难家庭；与寡妇结婚，政府会给更多的福利；工资不高的年轻人，在结婚时政府给予15万人民币的费用用于婚宴。

只可远观。这是很可怕的国家。沙特是瓦哈比派，仗着卖油钱，该国的目标是“向穆斯林世界传播瓦哈比派学说……将伊斯兰教瓦哈比化，让伊斯兰教内部的多种声音归于同一信仰”。结果就是瓦哈比派的ISIS。沙特也是当今世界上唯一在公共广场执行斩首死刑的国家。
沙特阿拉伯在瓦哈比派伊斯兰教法的规范下，拥有严格的死刑制度，执行数也名列多国之前。在2011年，该国共有26名人犯被处决，且包含外国人。行刑时采取公开的方式，最常见是用剑斩首受刑人和石刑，其次是把受刑人钉死于十字架上。
2007年至2010年间，共有345起执行公开处决的报告，最近一起因巫术而死刑定罪的报告出现于2007年，但最后并未成功执行。2007年至2010年间没有石刑的报告，但1981至1992年间共有4起执行石刑报告。

中国是死活不肯说死刑人数。若公布出来，数字恐怕比沙特要好。

With its vast oil wealth, Saudi Arabia has one of the highest concentrations of super rich households in the world. But an estimated 20 percent of the population, if not more, lives in crippling poverty. Beggars panhandle in the shadows of Riyadh’s luxury shopping malls, and just a few kilometers away families struggle to get by in the capital’s southern slums. While the government has finally acknowledged that poverty is a problem in the kingdom, the world of the Saudi poor is largely hidden from sight (to read more, see the new article on Saudi Arabia in the international edition of TIME, available to subscribers here).
Accessing this world is a difficult undertaking for foreign journalists, granted only with the assistance of a few dedicated social workers who risk government opprobrium to expose the realities of life lived on the margins. The Saudi state offers free health care and education, but little in the way of income assistance or food stamps. Many poor Saudi families rely on handouts from private citizens instead. Muslims are expected to give a portion of their annual income to charity, and many go beyond the bare minimum. Prince Al Waleed bin Talal, Saudi Arabia’s richest investor, estimates that he has given several billions of dollars in charity over the past 30 years, much of it wired directly to the accounts of petitioners who apply to his office for assistance with paying back loans, buying a car or getting married. It’s not necessary, but most of those supplicants visit the prince in person as part of a weekly ritual dating back to the early days of the al Saud dynasty. They line up to deliver their requests. Several pause to recite poems in praise of his generosity. The government has pledged to eradicate poverty, but it is a difficult and long-term undertaking made all the more complex by a rapidly growing population and a paucity of jobs.

Poverty in Saudi Arabia: A Quarter Of The Population Live Below Poverty Line
By Countercurrents.org
03 January, 2013
Countercurrents.org
To many, poverty in Saudi Arabia, a country with vast oil resource and lavish royalty, is unimaginable. But the rule of private property persists and the kingdom now finds: An estimated quarter of Saudis live below the poverty line.
A report by Kevin Sullivan for the Washington Post said*:
A few kilometers from the blinged-out shopping malls of Saudi Arabia's capital, Souad al-Shamir lives in a concrete house on a trash-strewn alley. She has no job, no money, five children under 14 and an unemployed husband who is laid up with chronic heart problems.
"We are at the bottom," she said, sobbing hard behind a black veil that left only her eyes visible. "My kids are crying and I can't provide for them."
Millions of Saudis struggle on the fringes of one of the world's most powerful economies, where jobs and welfare programs have failed to keep pace with a population that has soared from 6 million in 1970 to 28 million today.
The Saudi government has spent billions to help the growing numbers of poor, estimated to be as much as a quarter of the native Saudi population. But critics complain that those programs are inadequate, and that some royals seem more concerned with the country's image than with helping the needy. In 2011, for example, three Saudi video bloggers were jailed for two weeks after they made an online film about poverty in Saudi Arabia.
"The state hides the poor very well," said Rosie Bsheer, a Saudi scholar who has written extensively on development and poverty. "The elite don't see the suffering of the poor. People are hungry."
The Saudi government discloses little official data about its poorest citizens. But press reports and private estimates suggest that between 2 million and 4 million of the country's native Saudis live on less than about $530 a month – about $17 a day – considered the poverty line in Saudi Arabia.
The kingdom has a two-tier economy made up of about 16 million Saudis, with most of the rest foreign workers. The poverty rate among Saudis continues to rise as youth unemployment skyrockets. More than two-thirds of Saudis are under 30, and nearly three-quarters of all unemployed Saudis are in their 20s, according to government statistics.
In just seven decades as a nation, Saudi Arabia has grown from an impoverished backwater of desert nomads to an economic powerhouse with an oil industry that brought in $300bn last year.
Forbes magazine estimates King Abdullah's personal fortune at $18bn, making him the world's third-richest royal, behind the rulers of Thailand and Brunei. He has spent government funds freely on high-profile projects, most recently a nearly $70bn plan to build four "economic cities", where government literature says "up to 5 million residents will live, work and play".
The king last year also announced plans to spend $37bn on housing, wage increases, unemployment benefits and other programs, which was widely seen as an effort to placate middle-class Saudis and head off any Arab Spring-style discontent. Abdullah and many of the royals are also famous for their extensive charitable giving.
For many years, image-conscious Saudi officials denied the existence of poverty. It was a taboo subject avoided by state-run media until 2002, when Abdullah, then the crown prince, visited a Riyadh slum. News coverage was the first time many Saudis saw poverty in their country.
Prince Sultan bin Salman, a son of Crown Prince Salman, said in an interview that the government has acknowledged the existence of poverty and is working to "meet its obligations to its own people".
The Saudi government spends several billion dollars each year to provide free education and health care to all citizens, as well as a variety of social welfare programs – even free burials.
Despite those efforts, poverty and anger over corruption continue to grow. Vast sums of money end up in the pockets of the royal family through a web of nepotism, corruption and cozy government contracts, according to Saudi and US analysts. Bsheer said some Saudi royals enrich themselves through corrupt schemes, such as confiscating land from often-poor private owners, then selling it to the government at exorbitant prices.
At the other end of the spectrum, many of the poorest Saudis are in families headed by women such as Shamir, who are either widowed, divorced or have a husband who cannot work.
Under Islamic law, men are required to financially support women and their children. So women who find themselves without a man's income struggle, especially because the kingdom's strict religious and cultural constraints make it hard for women to find jobs.
The situation for many families, including Shamir's, is worse because they are "stateless" and not officially recognized as Saudi citizens, even though they were born in the country.
The UN estimates that there are 70,000 stateless people in Saudi Arabia, most of them descended from nomadic tribes whose traditional territory included parts of several countries. Their legal limbo makes it harder for them to receive government benefits.
Shamir, 35, lives in the shadow of a huge cement factory. The houses and streets are covered in a haze of smoke and dust. Her concrete house is down a narrow alley, where graffiti covers the cracked walls and litter piles up in the street. Her landlord is threatening to kick her out, and a local shop owner has cut off her credit for food and gas for her stove. She lives mainly on charity from wealthy Saudis who show up with food and clothes.
One recent morning, her children ran to the door to help unload food being dropped off by a middle-class Riyadh couple in an SUV. Shamir said donations help her pay for the electricity to run an air conditioner, but she does not have enough to buy school supplies for her children.
While middle-class Saudi youths have all the latest gadgets, Shamir's 14-year-old daughter, Norah, has never sent an email or seen Facebook. Her husband has a second wife who has another 10 children. Most of them are unemployed.
Shamir said her husband earned about $500 a month as a security guard until his health forced him to quit five years ago. She said she has tried in vain to find work as a seamstress or a cleaner.
"I've been patient all these years," Shamir said. "I hope that God will reward me with a better life for my children."

石油价格暴跌，不光是重创俄罗斯，沙特的经济也遭到沉重打击，如果石油价格持续低迷，沙特将不能维持原有的福利体系，到时候老百姓将不会那么听话，王爷们的好日子也要到头了。
